Patrick Schwarzenegger tweets about parents' split

17-year-old Patrick Schwarzenegger has sent out a message on Twitter in support of his family, despite the pressures of being in the public eye, People magazine reports.

"...some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit, yet I love my family till death do us part."

His mother, Maria Shriver, issued a statement earlier in the day calling revelations that her husband, Arnold Schwarzenneger, had fathered a child with a member of the couple's household staff, "painful and heartbreaking."

The couple have four children. Shriver moved out of the family's Brentwood home earlier this year. The child was born more than a decade ago. The couple announced their separation on Monday, after more than 25 years of marriage.
